Chapter 754

Author: Lean
He picked up the apron from the ground and put it on, starting to prepare the ingredients.

When he marinated the meat, he realized there weren’t enough ingredients.

He thought for a moment and decided to make something simple.

Roy was very efficient in his work.

When Jane opened the door and saw him, she was a bit surprised. “Are you looking for Zachary?”

Roy handed her the rice. “Mr. Collins asked me to bring this.”

Jane accepted it without understanding, and before she could even say thank you, Roy had already disappeared.

With such impressive skills, if he had been guarding the top floor that night, she and Zachary wouldn’t have woken up to find someone else beside them.

Even if the surveillance footage could be deleted, it wouldn’t escape Roy.

“What are you daydreaming about?”

Zachary received Roy's message and came out to check.

He found her standing at the door, lost in thought, with the door still open.

He walked over to close the door and took the items from her han

    The large bed in the bedroom suddenly sank.The neatly arranged sheets gradually became a mess.The view outside changed from golden warm sunlight to reddish-orange sunset.The blanket was in disarray.Zachary picked up Jane and headed to the bathroom...The consequences of exercising on an empty stomach meant he had to reheat food in the middle of the night.Jane, having not eaten either, was too lazy to move even her fingers, while Zachary was full of energy.He helped Jane into her silk pajamas, tucked her in, and then quickly took a shower.Afterward, he went to the kitchen to reheat the food.He also wiped away the red wine stains on the dining table.Once everything was set, he went back to the bedroom and carried Jane out.Jane immediately stuffed a bite of food into her mouth.Finally feeling alive again.Zachary served her some soup. “Drink this first.”Jane gulped it down, feeling warmth spread in her stomach.“Slow down.”Zachary looked at her affectionately

    The other matter was about the beast who harmed Jane.“Yes, sir.”Zachary hung up the phone and wanted to smoke a cigarette, only to realize he was wrapped in a bath towel.He pushed open the balcony door, stepped inside, and went to the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of cold water and drinking half of it.If the surveillance couldn’t be restored, he would have to resort to methods, as Frank suggested.Michael was relatively easy to handle, with his grandmother around, it wouldn’t be hard to get information about that night.But Nina’s situation was more troublesome.Their testimonies had to be consistent.When Jane woke up, it was already dark outside.She looked beside her and found it empty.After wandering around the living room, she found no one there.On the balcony, however, their discarded clothes were hanging.She picked up her phone to call Zachary.Just as she dialed, she noticed a note on the coffee table."Went back home, the food is warming in the pot. If you do

    Zachary did not want to argue and walked toward his room. At the door, he saw Nina. Zachary ignored her, he still needed to explain to Jane that he could not go over tonight. He had no time to waste. “Zachary.” Nina blocked his path. Zachary took a step back to create distance and said in an extremely cold tone, “If you can tell the truth about that night, then I will stand here and listen to you for a moment.” If you can’t, then I don’t have time to listen to you.” Nina looked shocked. “Zachary, what are you talking about? What truth about that night? Are you doubting that I lied to everyone?” Zachary did not speak, but his silence implied consent. Tears streamed down Nina’s face. “Zachary, although society has progressed and the standards for a girl’s virtue are no longer so strict, do I really need to lie about my innocence?” Zachary looked at her coldly. He felt as if those previous years had been wasted. He was shocked to discover how corrupt her t

    But the family atmosphere of the Collins family was relatively good.Charlotte had told her that as long as they didn't damage the Collins family's reputation or interests, the Collins family could indeed be described as harmonious.But her family…No, she didn’t have a family.She suddenly felt that having parents like Zachary and grandparents, even if strict, was quite good.At least they wouldn’t abandon their child or beat them to death."You’ve been spending time at home with your grandfather, right? You should work and earn money when you can, no need to keep coming to me."Zachary deliberately spoke in a low voice, "Is it getting boring?"Jane also pretended. "Yeah.""Hang up, don’t delay me from chatting with other guys.""I’d like to see you try."Jane laughed. "You think I'm scared?"Zachary got angry but couldn’t bear to lose his temper with her.Mainly because he had his own "criminal record." Now that he had finally caught her, how could he act as cold as befo

    Jane didn’t know when she fell asleep, when she woke up, her phone had turned itself off due to running out of battery.She got up to find her charger, plugged it in, and turned it on, discovering that the video call had lasted an astonishing five hours.This was after it had turned itself off automatically.If it had been charged, the video call could have lasted until this morning.Jane was a bit surprised, she hadn’t been this infatuated before."Good morning."After sending the message to Zachary, Jane got ready and left for the office.On the way, she bought breakfast and took pictures to share with Zachary.He replied to each one.At the dining table, only Zachary held his phone, and the half bowl of oat porridge in front of him had taken ages to finish.No one at the table spoke.The most displeased, Eric, remained silent, and even Rebecca, who would usually say something, quietly ate her meal.Zachary certainly sensed that something was off today.But he was too la

    "There’s a barbecue place on the fourth floor that’s really good, let’s go try it out. You can cook for me.""Okay," Zachary readily agreed, but then he hesitated to move.Jane pushed him, but he pulled her into his arms."Take it slow."At the film set.Jason and Michael had just finished their scene.The staff immediately rushed in, each taking care of their responsibilities.Jason sat down on a nearby rest chair, accepting the hot water handed to her by her assistant.Michael, not yet of such a high status, quietly practiced his lines in the corner.Jason glanced over and then got up to walk towards him."You need to step out of yourself when acting."The sudden voice startled Michael, causing him to take a nervous step back.Jason’s demeanor was gentle. "Sorry."Michael quickly waved his hands, shaking his head. He felt much more awkward than before when he had met Jason.Jason didn’t ask more but said, "Relax, it’s okay. I’ll help you.""You…" Michael bit his lip. "

    Nina certainly had a plan, but she couldn’t reveal it now. She wanted to wait until Zachary and Jane were getting along well before she brought it up. She aimed to see them suffer through their separation, which would soothe her anger."Mrs. Collins, you want them to break up, right? Then just work with me. I’ve been taken care of by you since I was little. Although you couldn’t help when Sir Collins sent me abroad, I still remember your kindness. I’ve always wanted to help you fulfill your wishes to repay that kindness."Once these words came out, Rebecca found it hard to respond. She thought that if Nina really were to get pregnant, they could still raise the child. After all, it was a girl she had watched grow up. Even if they couldn’t marry her into the family as a daughter-in-law, giving the child a proper identity wouldn’t be a problem."I can see you don’t look well, you should eat something and rest. Don’t worry, I’ll work with you."Nina, having achieved her goal, felt v

    The director personally brought over the report. "Five weeks, the embryo is developing normally, but Miss Linton’s health isn’t great, and her mood seems a bit low. For the sake of the baby’s health, she needs to adjust herself. You should talk to her more."The director was one of their own, so he wouldn’t ask too many questions or spread anything.When she got home, Rebecca first told Nina to rest and then called Eric. He was busy and didn’t pick up, but he messaged her that he would be home for dinner.After thinking for a moment, she called Zachary. Zachary was in the kitchen cooking. He wasn’t surprised to see the incoming call. He ignored the first one.Rebecca called again.This time, he answered slowly, straightforwardly stating, "If you want me to come home, I suggest you save your breath."Surprisingly, Rebecca didn’t lose her temper. She calmly replied, "Right now, we can’t tell if the child is yours, but with a month gone by, you’ll have to acknowledge it for now."

    Rhianna blinked her beautiful purple eyes and said coquettishly, "Yes, Westley, are you going to increase the bid? If you don't, the jewelry Mrs. Howard wants will belong to me. But it’s a fair competition, don’t get mad, okay?"Westley curved his lips, a strong and obvious hint of sarcasm in his expression."I could give it to you..."Jordan suddenly looked up, almost thinking she had misheard.But then she realized, Westley was someone with a deep sense of revenge.It was likely that he wasn’t increasing the bid out of desire, but to set a trap for Rhianna.Sure enough, the next words she heard were his cold, indifferent tone."400 million and 200 thousand. It’s not that I look down on you. It is possible for you to come up with 200 thousand dollars, but where are you going to get the 400 million from? Will you sell your family’s castle, or pull all the investments out of your business?"Rhianna wasn’t foolish. She sensed something was wrong and tried to get Westley to raise

    "I don't like it." Jordan threw the paddle she was holding at him and stood up, intending to leave.Out of sight, out of mind.Westley grabbed her arm. "This is your mother's heirloom. You really don't want it?""What?"Jordan's head was about to explode. There had been too many shocks tonight.She still didn’t even know who her mother was.And yet, Westley knew that this was her mother’s heirloom?"Stop making things up. I don’t like this..."Westley still didn’t plan to reveal her true identity.Nathan was intentionally playing this hidden identity game.He was playing along.Besides, whether Jordan was from the Jackson family or not didn’t matter to him.As long as she was his, that was all that mattered."You’ll regret not bidding. Really, are you sure you don’t want it?" he said with a cryptic tone, guiding her subtly.He had already said that Jordan could bid on anything she liked.Yet here she was, hesitating.Jordan stared at the pear blossom jewelry on the stag

    Her hand, resting on her lap, slowly clenched into a fist.Westley admired the change in her expression, silently smirking.Rhianna watched the whole scene and asked Westley in a foreign language, "Why does it feel like your wife doesn’t want to talk to you? Westley, did you intentionally arrange someone to act with you to reject me?"Westley answered indifferently, "If it were acting, wouldn’t the person I arranged cooperate with me? I made her unhappy before we came here, so it's normal for her to give me the cold shoulder. I brought her here to apologize and make her happy."Jordan couldn’t understand what they were saying and didn’t care. She was looking at the auction booklet.She was drawn to a set of pear blossom jewelry displayed in the catalog.She didn’t know why, but it felt as if there was some kind of connection.If the set wasn’t too expensive, she might try to bid on it.Her entire fortune should be enough, right?Westley’s gaze shifted over and saw her thumb ge

    "I want to explain."Westley embraced her, lowering his head to whisper, as though they were deeply in love."I won’t repeat the same mistakes again as before, and I won’t make the same mistake multiple times."Jordan shrank her neck, trying to avoid him.His warm breath brushed against her ear, it was ticklish.But she couldn’t break free from him, so she could only try to move away as much as possible."Let go of me first."Westley lowered his head and kissed her ear."Since you’re here, let’s finish what we started."Jordan was unwilling. "You handle your own problems, don’t drag me into your competition with other women."Westley stared at her for a moment, not loosening his arm but pulling her closer."She already holds a grudge against you. It’s safer for you to stay by my side. Oh, by the way, just so you know, she’s a princess."Jordan slapped the cream cake in her hand right onto his face.She couldn’t hide her emotions, anger clearly written on her face.She wan

    Jordan finally finished planting all the saplings and now all she had to do was wait for them to bloom.But she probably wouldn’t be able to see the flowers. She hoped the pear trees would grow wildly here."Mrs. Howard." Buck brought her a dress. "Mr. Howard said that there is a party tonight and would like to request your company."Jordan refused without hesitation.Buck added, "There’s also an auction, with many fun and interesting items. Don’t you want to buy gifts for your sister and little nephew?"Mentioning her sister and nephew made Jordan waver.Jane liked interesting things, and Jordan couldn’t easily go out on her own to gather them.And now, she had the opportunity.But she didn’t want to attend the event with Westley."Mrs. Howard, if I were you, I would go."Jordan ignored him. He was on Westley’s side.Buck’s mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "When Mr. Howard broke your heart, you should have asked for more money from him, to get revenge and s

    Carter had hit a wall at every turn.He had also been poked at his sore spot, and his long-established cold and distant persona was on the verge of crumbling."Forget about Zachary and the others, after all, they’re not very close. But how long have I known you? You won't help? I even helped you persuade Jordan."Westley didn’t fall for it. "As for you and Mandy, no one can help. I can’t bring her to Nelana now. You can try convincing Zachary, maybe there’s still a chance."Wasn’t that just stating the obvious?Carter said, "If I could get Zachary's help, would I be telling you all this?"Westley replied, "That’s your problem. Who told you to force her? Back then, she was just a young girl, barely an adult. It’s normal for her to be afraid of you and find you disgusting."A flash of sadness appeared in Carter's eyes."I was just too angry back then. It wasn’t intentional...""I’ve said that too." Westley put down the binoculars. "You saw my outcome. Obviously, it was useless."

    "Jane, don't argue with Zachary. This time, I am staying here voluntarily," said Jordan."I’ve made a bet with Westley, and there will be a resolution in the end."Jane nodded. "I can let you handle this matter yourself, but you have to promise me that you won’t let yourself get hurt, and you won’t just keep sacrificing yourself. If it becomes unbearable, give it up. I’ll always be here to support you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."The two sisters chatted for a long time, and only when Jane started to feel sleepy did they end the video call.Jordan handed the phone to Buck and closed the door to her room.Buck was left standing there.He felt like he had been completely abandoned, as if everything around him had fallen apart.Anyway, as a sandwich in the middle, he was already crushed, so it didn’t matter anymore.For several days, Jordan got up to eat, and the food was always food prepared by the chef.She hadn’t seen Westley around.She couldn’t really say how she felt. She just

    "He is faking his psychological illness," Jordan rebutted.Even if he had one, it had nothing to do with her.Even she didn’t have any psychological issues, how could someone with such a strong mind like Westley have any psychological issues?He shouldn’t blame her for everything.Having seen enough, she turned around and walked away.But Carter called her back. "He once took good care of you, and you're going to be this heartless?"Jordan wasn’t familiar with Carter. He was usually a man of few words with a cold personality.If she greeted him, he wouldn’t respond. If she talked too much, she might get an icy look in return.She really didn’t expect that one day, he would try to mediate between her and Westley."You should focus more on your own matters," she said.His own love life was a mess, so what right did he have to interfere in hers?Jordan’s emotions were written all over her face, she didn’t hide them.Carter could guess how she was feeling just by looking at her

    Jane didn’t care about Westley. Even if he was feeling it now, it was too late for regrets.If he hadn’t acted the way he did, Jordan wouldn’t have suffered so much.Moreover, he had once ignored her cries for help, so now he shouldn’t blame Jordan for his injuries.“How’s my sister?” she asked.Roy replied, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Collins, Ms. Hickey is doing fine. Except for the lack of freedom, there are no other restrictions.”“When can I have a video call with her?”Roy thought for a moment. “Since Mr. Howard is now delirious, I can make the arrangements.”“Thank you,” said Jane.“It’s no trouble, it’s my job.”After hanging up the phone, Jane looked at Zachary and asked, “What do you think?”Zachary moved the phone a little farther away to avoid radiation.After finishing the massage, he helped her lie down and said, “I’m thinking what you’re thinking.”Jane gave him a sidelong glance. “You’re slick.”Zachary smirked and bent down to kiss her forehead.“Get some rest.”
